Simple review for the anime Kami Nomi Zo Shiru Sekai or The World GodOnly Knows season one

Kami Nomi Zo Shiru Sekai or The World God Only Knows, is an anime that revolves around a young man by the name Keima Katsuragi. Keima Katsuragi is an extreme gamer that seems to only play dating sims.  Online he is consider a god or 'The God of Conquest' and many people throughout the show ask advice from him. But in the 'real' world or his day to day physical world, he is consider to be a 'dweeb' or just a waist of a person.  Being a person that is sure of his talent, he willingly takes on a challenge, sinned Branch Chief.  After Keima takes on this challenge the sky turns black and what looks to be a witch rides out of the sky on a broom.  Later you find out she is a demon by the name Elucia de Lute Ima or Elsie for short.  At the start of the show Keima seems to show no interest in the real world and acts like he knows nothing about the real world, but as the show goes on he becomes willing to admit that he is able to apply his game knowledge to the real world to help with his 'conquering'. This helps him complete his and Elsie's tasks of catching 'Loose Souls' (and Loose Soul is a soul that got out of hell and resides in the empty part of a humans heart.).  time for grading.

This show gets an 8 out of 10.

The animation is good and only a few times in the show (12 episodes) do they use the same animation over again.  The idea and story is original is a way, and it is nice to see something that doesn't really have a darker side to things.  The voice acting is done well and matches with the drawn characters (remember that i am speaking about the japanese dub for the most part i wont watch the english dub).
And it did manage to make me laugh at several parts.  Along with that thought i did find myself at the edge of my seat at times.

Anime genres: Romance, Action, Fantasy, Comedy, Demons, Ecchi(kinda), Harem(kinda), School(kinda)

Here is a link to the Wikia and Here is a link to where you can watch it for free.

EDIT: After re watching the show and watching the second ( I will do a separate  review for that) I re rate this show as a 9 out of 10.
